18.
If \(\frac{2}{3}\), k, \(\frac{5k}{8}\) are in A.P., then value of k.
1.
Here, a = 5, d = - 3
\(\because\) l = a + (n -1)d
\(\because\)- 49 = 5 + (n -1)(- 3)
\(\Rightarrow\)-49 = 5-3n + 3
\(\Rightarrow\) 3n = 49 + 5 + 3
\(\Rightarrow\)n = 57/3 = 19th term.
2.
an=3+4n
a1=3+4x1=7
a2=3+4x2=11
a3=3+4x3=15
Sequence is, 7,11,15
3.
a = 10,
d = 10.5 - 10 = 0.5
a10 = a + 9d = 10 + 9 x 0.5 = 14.5
4.
Here, we have
a2 -a1 = \(\sqrt{8}\) - \(\sqrt{2}\) = \(2\sqrt{2}\) - \(\sqrt{2}\) = \(\sqrt{2}\)
a3 - a2 = \(\sqrt{18}\) - \(\sqrt{8}\) = \(3\sqrt{2}\) - \(2\sqrt{2}\) = \(\sqrt{2}\)
a4 - a3 = \(\sqrt{32}\)-\(\sqrt{18}\)=4\(\sqrt{2}\) -3\(\sqrt{2}\) = \(\sqrt{2}\) and so on. Since, the difference of any two consecutive terms is same. Therefore, the given list of numbers forms an AP and its common difference (d) is \(\sqrt{2}\)
Now, next three terms of this AP are,
a5 = a4 + d = 4\(\sqrt{2}\)+ \(\sqrt{2}\) = 5\(\sqrt{2}\)
a6 = a5 + d = 5\(\sqrt{2}\) + \(\sqrt{2}\) = 6\(\sqrt{2}\)
and a7 = a6 + d = 6 \(\sqrt{2}\) + \(\sqrt{2}\) = 7 \(\sqrt{2}\)
5.
Here, we have
\(a_{2}-a_{1}=\frac{5}{2}-2=\frac{5-4}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\),
\(a_{3}-a_{2}=3-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{6-5}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(a_{4}-a_{3}=\frac{7}{2}-3=\frac{7-6}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\) and so on.
Since, the difference of any two consecutive terms is same. therefore, the given list of numbers forms an AP and its common difference (d) is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Now, next three terms of this AP are,
a5 = a4 + d = \(\frac{7}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\)
[\(\because\) a5 = a + 4d = a + 3d + d = a4 + a5]
\(=\frac{7+1}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4\)
\(a_{6}=a_{5}+d=4+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\)
and \(a_{7}=a_{6}+d=\frac{9}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9+1}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5\)
6.
Given, a = -2, d = 0
The first four terms of the AP are -2, -2, -2, and -2.
7.
111222333
8.
13, 17, 21
9.
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the AP.
Gien, T2 = \(7\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) a + d = \(\frac{31}{4}\) ...(i)
and T31 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) a + 30d = \(\frac{1}{2
}\)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
29d = \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{31}{4}=-\frac{29}{4}\) \(\Rightarrow\) d = - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Putting the value of d in (i), we get
\(a-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{31}{4}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(a=\frac{31}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{32}{4}=8\)
Let the number of terms be n, so that
Tn = \(-\frac{13}{2}\)
i.e., a + ( n - 1 )d = - \(\frac{13}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(8-\frac{n}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{13}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) 32 - n + 1 = - 26 \(\Rightarrow\) n = 59
Hence, first term = 8 and number of terms = 59.
10.
Numbers divisible by 9 between 100 and 200 are 108, 117, 126, ..., 198.
Here, a = 108, d = 9, an = 198
an = a + ( n - 1 )d \(\Rightarrow\) 198 = 108 + ( n - 1 )9
\(\Rightarrow\) 198 = 108 + 9n - 9 \(\Rightarrow\) 198 = 99 + 9n
\(\Rightarrow\) 198 - 99 = 9n \(\Rightarrow\) \({99\over9}\) = n \(\Rightarrow\) 11 = n
and Sn = \({n\over 2}[2a+(n-1)d]\)
S11 = \({11\over2}\) [ 2 X 108 + ( 11 - 1 )9]
= \({11\over2}\) [ 216 + 90 ] = \({11\over2}\times306\) = 1683
